Tsukishima Kai's manga / #Slice of Life(43)

Slow Starter (Harumi Chihiro)

Complete | Harumi Chihiro | 2000 released

This could've been written better. Interesting plot idea and twists, but was not expressed in a better way. I liked how Midori and Azami ended up together, because being with a bitch like Kaoru would not make Azami happy even if I wanted to see some yuri action. I mean, no matter what the sexual orientation, you should always go for a non-toxic relationship. Whereas Kaoru is totally broken and would just keep on hurting Azami. If this was a bit longer and the story was told a little bit better, I could've given this at least 4 stars.

Attachment Love

Complete | Matsumoto Yoh | 2000 released

This is good?! The plot and pacing was nice, the ending was handled well, and the characters are kinda realistic and relatable, and their development was pretty understandable (▰˘◡˘▰) The drama, fluff, and romance were well-balanced, and I especially liked their dialogues. Also, I'm glad that Sagawa was not unnecessarily gay who has unhealthy feelings towards Hiyama like how they do other side characters in other cliche yaoi manga. I liked it that he was sincerely worried for Hiyama as a friend/colleague, and I live Okazaki's friends who were very supportive with his love interest aince they were young. I love this healthy yaoi manga. 10/10 for me, sad that it was short though ╥﹏╥

A Prince in a Luxurious Mansion

Complete | Matsumoto Yoh | 2000 released

This couple is so wholesome and sweet I think I have to check my sugar level after this XD And I love it that 'prince' and Kanta are both such a clingy babeys who always like to snuggle. Man, why do I like the snuggly scenes more than the sex? Hahaha. CUTE!!!

I Wanna Die Before I'm 30

Complete | Anji seina | 2019 released

Okay. So here's the thing. I really liked chapter 1 so I decided to continue reading it, but everything went down for me. The plot is unique and their dialogues are good, but I did not expect to see a manga lowkey (or high key) telling us readers that it's okay to do drugs 'as long as it's fun'. Sorry. I really liked the plot and was looking forward to the 3p because many comments said it's a healthy 3p but this just ain't appropriate, not just for minors, but for all ages. I don't care what kind of 'fun' anyone have or do, but using and selling drugs is just pure disgusting, and this manga literally put it out there that it's one of the 'fun' things to do in life, which is just, seriously messed up. They could've included the backstory where Ryo and Aya are used as sexslaves for the yakuza and were used to sell drugs before they robbed and escaped them, or even include that they used drugs before, but should've made it clear in the end that they stopped. Ugh. I can't stop myself from ranting because I really adored the story but I'm so disappointed about the drugs part.

Walk on Water

Complete | Jaxx,Jang Mokdan | 2000 released

This was such a realistic and heavy topic I was amazed how I found something like this amongst all the others here. I won't comment on the characters, as I have a love-hate relationship with each of them, but I do understand them. No. The author made me understand each and everyone of them. I actually finished reading this a few hours ago, but I only thought of what to comment now. My heart feels so heavy and I'm really overwhelmed with how things progressed, despite the happy ending. I think this feeling will linger for a while, and I will definitely remember this piece for a long, long time, but I don't think I will read this again, for the sake of my heart and mental health. A MASTERPIECE.

Blood Bank

Complete | silb | 2015 released

⏸ Paused at Chapter 38 I planned to binge read this since it was a completed and old manga anyway, but chapter 38 changed my mind. I'll need to rest. I was so invested in the story that I just realized how I'm crying almost every chapter. I didn't notice my tears. But when One left Shell, I felt like I was doused with ice cold water and woke up. I realized I'm not ready for the heavier stuff yet. I'll just come back when I'm ready to accept that One is gone and we now have Eric... I will miss Shell a lot but I will definitely miss One too (and the glasses)

Secret XXX

This is sooooooooo good I can't even rate it like asdfghjklbxhsksbdij I feel so single right now TT

Window to Window

Complete | Lee Aru,이아루 | 2016 released

Adorable! The art is sooo pretty too! Would've given this a 5 star rating if only Ginu has a better personality and the thing with his mom being like a homophobe was addressed lol but everything's okay~

Room to Room

Complete | Lee Aru | 2000 released

THAT SETTLES IT!!! DOWAN HAS CLIMBED UP TO MY TOP10 LIST OF BEST SEME OF ALL TIME!!! I liked their story more than Yubin and Ginu's and the way they handled their situation was really good! And I love the extra chapters with the military uniform on!!! I got skeptical to read this since I know how much Chamin liked his girlfriend from Window to Window but I hate myself that I didn't read this sooner, this is one of the best!
